Julia Pierson: As Incompetent Secret Service Chick Chief Resigns
I’m not surprised that incompetent Secret Service chieftess Julia Pierson resigned. I’m just surprised it took this long. As I noted her prime “qualifications” for the job were being a woman and having a Billie Jean King brush cut (which she wasted all this money on getting blow-dried yesterday)). And even though Pierson resigned, this is about a culture of incompetence and fear at the Secret Service. The next head of the agency probably won’t be able to clean it up. It’s about an entire country–not just a law enforcement agency–that doesn’t take national security threats seriously. And it’s about a government dominated by political correctness and affirmative action, not the safety and well-being of its citizens.
Yesterday’s hearings on the White House intruder brought to light more on the Washington Post story that, in 2011, shots were fired at the White House and nobody knew about it, until a White House maid found broken glass from one of the windows in the residence days after the attack. How on earth does that happen? How could shots be fired at the White House and the Secret Service not know until a maid told them several days later? Ridiculous. While Pierson didn’t head the Secret Service at the time, she was the highest ranking agent in the agency then.
In addition to the Gonzalez breach, they pressed the director on recent disclosures about a 2011 shooting incident that the Secret Service failed to recognize as an attack on the White House until days later. An account of that incident was first reported Sunday by The Washington Post. In a tense exchange with Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., about the shooting, Pierson acknowledged that evidence of the gunfire was not discovered until three or four days after the attack.Ultimately, a White House housekeeper discovered broken glass — damage left by multiple rounds from a high-powered rifle — along the iconic Truman Balcony.
